Prepare this easy, make-ahead breakfast tonight for a cozy, apple pie flavored start to your busy morning. This no-cook oatmeal recipe is simple and wholesome.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1/4 cup plain or vanilla Greek yogurt (optional, for protein)
  • 1/2 small apple, finely diced
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup or sweetener of choice
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Combine the rolled oats, milk, yogurt (if using), diced apple, chia seeds, maple syrup, cinnamon, and salt in a jar or container with a lid.
  2. Stir all ingredients well until fully mixed.
  3. Seal the container and place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
  4. In the morning, check the consistency. Add a splash more milk if you prefer a thinner texture.
  5. Top with extra cinnamon, chopped nuts, or a few raisins before eating cold.

Notes

  • For a higher protein version, use protein powder or increase the amount of Greek yogurt.
  • Use any milk you prefer, such as almond, soy, or oat milk. This recipe works well for vegan diets if you use non-dairy milk and sweetener.
  • If you prefer a softer apple texture, you can microwave the diced apple with the cinnamon for 30 seconds before mixing it into the oats.
  • This recipe is easily doubled or tripled for meal prepping several days at once.
